Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega Genesis)

Here is the beginning of a large series of pictures I am taking of all the bench mark Sonic games IMHO.
So here we are with Sonic the Hedgehog (the first one) on the Sega Genesis. What better way to capitalize this with a picture of a good ol' McDonalds Sonic blasting across the screen!

Oh ho, where to begin? When I was young, and just learning how to play video games, I walked into my brother's room and there he was playing Sonic the Hedgehog with my cousin on the Genesis. I was amazed! Never before had I seen a character so cool looking, so fast! I had a swing at the game.... and I sucked. But after a while, I got better. I finally beat the game and it will go down in the books for the first game I ever played, enjoyed, beaten, and loved.
